No Image is attached to the card, just curious to what y'all think of the idea. Idea for abilities and Special Abilities, not super powered but made strong. Tried to reduce amount of words down as much as possible.

I like how you are trying to get two for the price of one with David. However, the ability itself and the function of how it would convert after 2 rescues isn’t very practical. The special ability is too specific to certain card types and will do nothing against an Assyrian defense or any other non-Philistine defense (except for the band, which is again a little too specific to only one certain Hero). Thematically I see what you’re trying to do and I like that but functionally it wouldn’t work very well.

With the David's Mighty Men, I'm referring to any warrior that was labeled as such in scripture that he had chosen.
That includes Abishai, Jashobeam, Elhanan, Maharai, Shammah, Shamhuth, etc...
Some of them being banded into battle give much higher perks, especially since some of them also have banding abilities and can thus band in other heroes that can decimate even full on Assyrian defenses with all the capture and discard abilities.
